Chloë Sevigny returned to her model roots on Saturday, starring in the fall 2013 presentation for her own Opening Ceremony line ... the 38-year-old actress and fashion designer stood amongst her mod-themed models with blank stares, who, like the protests staged by youthquakers in the Sixties, held signs that said things like: 'The agony of power.'

And!

Ms Sevigny showed the kinds of clothes she likes to wear herself: hip, indie, and cool. And the Sixties-style-meets-music-festival collection of thrown-on separates and mini-dresses neatly fits in with this East Village cool-girl image.

Among the musical highlights: Kim Gordon and DNA's Ikue Mori played with Bleached, the all-girl surf rockers.

Wow waht a bunch of ignoramuses. They don't surprise me though because they will always win, always be one step ahead of the game. Calling them ignoramuses will only make them laugh harder and get them more free publicity. The joke is on us. Thanks girls.

Great clothes but like VH McKenzie said, the models seem oddly undead -- the opposite of the amphetamine fueled mid-1960s. Everything has gone to shit since Andy W died and a lot of trendtypes seem to be trying to project his pre-shooting Factory vibe. And getting it all wrong. Maybe Chloe should have hired Gerard Malanga to whip them into shape.

The church was surrounded by people with huge cameras and endless SUVs pulling up and spewing rich hipsters. Happened to be walking by... did not experience a trace of the East Village that I've known since the late 70s...
